How about a career as a designer/maker of jewellery? I'm not kidding. Two girls I know trained to be goldsmiths and went from that to designing bling.
They work with their hands (or used to, but still know how to do it), get to be creative and get to melt, weld and hammer metals and shit. Sounds to me like that's what you're looking for. That said, I guess it's sort of a hit-or-miss industry. Either you get enough costumers or you don't. One of those girls makes more money at 25 than I probably ever will. The other makes less than I do as a 20-hour-a-week-barkeep/student. In fact, she'd make less than me if I were only worked 10 hours a week.
